Navajo Fry Bread

Ingredients

• 2 cups oil for frying
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2.5 cups warm milk

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

2. 2

   Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl; mix in milk to form a soft dough. Divide dough into eighteen 2-inch diameter balls; flatten or roll each ball into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Make a small hole in the center of each round to help keep them flat while frying.

3. 3

   Lower dough rounds, about 3 or 4 at a time, carefully into hot oil. Fry until rounds have bubbles on the surface and are golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining dough.
